TIM WALZ: Abolish the electoral college, abolish the senate, do gerrymandering, pack the court

if only the pentagon had known about this beforehand….

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

When one of the Liberals’ biggest climate champions feels he must leave the Liberal caucus in order to fight climate change, it says everything you need to know about the government’s sense of urgency on this file. There is none. PM Carney has abandoned climate action at our collective expense.

ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an ‘alarming’ rate, an AP investigation finds apnews.com/article/ice-...

"The data on 2.9 million Albertans was loaded onto an app built with US funding, shaped by US political strategists, and deployed by a Canadian separatist organizer who spent nearly two years cultivating US partners before launching the Centurion Project."

So if COVID isolating a bunch of people bluntly and en masse contributed to what we're dealing with right now as a society, I wonder how AI subtly individually isolating us will affect society.

More than a bit worrying that reality seems not to matter anymore. Like, whole political movements rise up out of disinformation campaigns pushed by algorithms and media narratives. www.latimes.com/california/s...

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

Donald Trump wants to raid the Treasury and use $1.8 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars in a slush fund for his buddies. It’s corruption on full display and I’m fighting to stop it.

my internet bill steadily increased a little bit at a time over the last two years until it was 50% higher than the original rate for the exact same service and in order to do anything about that, i have to argue with a robot for an hour to get a $20 discount. i love living this way.

Man, you all remember when we were worried Trump would violate the Emoluments Clause? Crazy times. I miss our naivete.

If you live in VA07 I need you to write to Eugene Vindman and tell him about me. Tell him about the transgender military veteran who used to live in his district and just wanted to raise his goddamned sheep in peace and now lives 3000 miles away because of transphobic bullshit.

The mythology of the "lost" American West is such a pervasive, harmful part of our culture

Trump allies keep bringing meritless lawsuits against the government, which Trump's DOJ then "settles" for enormous sums of taxpayer money now Trump is personally getting in on it, negotiating with himself for a "settlement" in the *billions* we're being robbed ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Data centers are responsible for a 76% increase in the cost of electricity in the largest US grid www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Epstein files were legally supposed to be released 146 days ago. If citizens ignored court orders and federal law for 146 days, they’d be in jail. When the government officials do it, nothing happens.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

It's Astonishing how little attention the full scale reintroduce of Jim Crow white supremacist voter suppression through anti-Black gerrymandering is getting both on here and generally Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

JPMORGAN: “.. While the Trump 2.0 DoJ increased prosecution of immigration cases, it also terminated pending investigations involving organized crime, white collar crime, corruption, labor racketeering, violent crime, healthcare fraud and national security at a record pace.”

Adolph Fischer was hanged for the crime of editing an anarchist newspaper. He told the court: "I was tried here in this room for murder, and I was convicted of Anarchy. I protest against being sentenced to death, because I have not been found guilty of murder.

August Spies was one of the "moderate" anarchists, the editor of a newspaper whose title translated simply to Worker's Paper. He worked 12-16 hours a day on that newspaper, fighting for the eight hour day for everyone else. He kept a circle bomb on his desk in the office.

well at least american citizens are getting a lot for their investments in turning millionaires into billionaires and dropping bombs on elementary schools

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

I truly think that if we resign ourselves to a middle-of-the-road centrist in 2028 we are blowing a once in a generation shot to make real change out of a mistaken fear of suburbia. We need a reformer, people are hungry for it.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

there is a privacy apocalypse coming, and the democrats are just as responsible as the republicans.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

Hi! A responsible title to this article would have been something like, "Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas calls for violent right-wing revolution against most of the American populace".

Magyar’s speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: “He’s basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired.”

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

if you want a shot of optimism remember that ten years ago Victor Orban's position seemed unassailable and today he and his movement are failing.

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

Cops fractured his skull for standing by in peaceful protest. And people in power claimed he assaulted the cops. No hell greater for those who smeared him. RIP.

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.

Israeli prime minister welcomes US decision to suspend attacks on Iran, but says the truce does not apply to Lebanon.

this is the most desperate for approval he's sounded imo

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.
